(This doesn’t affect the full disk encryption feature of TrueCrypt, just disk images. The solution for this is just to manually dismount your encrypted drives before shutting down, but it is something to be aware of. Users of encryption programs like TrueCrypt have reported that encrypted drives they had mounted before shutting down their system were automatically remounted when starting back up. Fast Startup can interfere slightly with encrypted disk images.If a shutdown doesn’t apply your updates, a restart still will. Restart is unaffected, though, so it still performs a full cold shutdown and restart of your system. Since applying new system updates often requires a shutdown, you may not be able to apply updates and turn your computer off. When Fast Startup is enabled, your computer doesn’t perform a regular shut down.But Fast Startup also has its problems, so you should take the following caveats into consideration before enabling it: Why You Might Want to Disable Fast StartupSounds awesome, right? Well, it is. Updates may not be installed with Fast Startup in Windows 10 (documentation from Microsoft's website) Also Microsoft should turn it off be default, as quite a lot of users are unaware of this, and this setting makes quite the difference in stability of Windows 10. My take on it is unless you have a very old or under powered computer that you happen to turn on and off often during the day, turning off fast startup should be among the first thing to do upon installing Windows 10. Also by turning off fast startup, it allows users to shutdown and install Windows updates (instead of a mandatory restart), which can be useful at times. Basically, as a rule, when you encounter a problem that is recurring upon startup but resolved after rebooting the computer, turning off fast startup will usually solve the problem. Malwarebytes also has an issue where the icon tray sometimes doesn't load because of it. It's quite notorious on the Norton forums where it's often advised to be turned off, and quite often doing so solves the issue. The problem is that this can cause not only Windows but also various other softwares (especially antiviruses) not to work properly. Instead of loading all drivers and files from scratch, fast startup will keep some of those in memory (that's oversimplified of course) in order to make the computer boot faster. To make things short, fast startup works like a deep hibernation of a sort. "Fast startup" is activated by default on Windows 10, and after reading various troubleshooting and posts over the web, I've noticed it's quite often the culprit causing quite a few bugs and annoyances. Many of you might know about this, but still I feel it's worth a post for those who don't know yet.
